Tired of Lugging a Heavy Water Bottle? This One Folds Up!

I carry an enormous Kleen Kanteen water bottle wherever I go (well, in my enormous bag--I know, my poor back). So when I saw a new product that promises a lighter-weight water-drinking experience, I thought it looked pretty interesting. Gals, meet the anti-bottle ...

The Vapur is a collapsible 16 oz. plastic "bottle" that can be rolled up and tucked into a gym bag, purse or pocket. It stands up when full and collapses when empty--and can be used frozen as an ice pack. Bonus: It's made of ultra-durable BPA-free polymer (because you guys know I wouldn't recommend a plastic product that contained BPA--P.S. did you see my post about BPA in canned food? Let's discuss!).

It got two thumbs up from fitness expert Gina Lombardi, the author of Deadline Fitness. Sounds like a fun gift or stocking stuffer idea, huh? As un-excited as I tend to be about plastic water bottle products, I like that it's BPA-free and lightweight.
